Spain proposes to hold Middle East peace conference in six months

"On the Spain’s side, we propose to hold an international peace conference in six months, to let the entire international community feel involved and to finally find a solution involving two states for Israel and Palestine," Acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said

BRUSSELS, October 26. /TASS/. Spanish authorities propose to convene an international conference in six months in order to find a solution to the Middle East conflict, Acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said upon arriving to the EU Summit in Brussels.

"On the Spain’s side, we propose to hold an international peace conference in six months, to let the entire international community feel involved and to finally find a solution involving two states for Israel and Palestine," the Acting Prime Minister said.

The situation in the Middle East has escalated abruptly after an armed infiltration of HAMAS militant from the Gaza Strip into Israel. The HAMAS movement considers this attack a response to the actions of Israeli authorities towards the Al Aqsa Mosque at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Israel announced a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip and started carrying out strikes at the enclave and at certain areas of Lebanon and Syria. Clashes also take place in the West Bank.
